Barrister Sultana And Islam Inspired by Muhammad PBUH

“Working as a barrister at a leading human rights firm,I often get asked the question: how are
you able to reconcile your choice of profession with Islam’s views
regarding the role of women? The question usually stems from the false
presumption that Islam sees women as unequal to men. This could not be
further from the truth. My answer is that there is no conflict to
reconcile. Rather my choice of profession is entirely in sync with, and
indeed promoted, by Islam.If you study therights and status of women in Islam, it is easy to conclude that the laws and practices put in place by Prophet Muhammad were,
and still are, revolutionary. He brought recognition to their rights in
both the private and public spheres in a society which inflicted the
worst kinds of degradations on women. His reforms continue to be
revolutionary in that they do not regard men as being the comparator or
the benchmark by which equality is measured. Whilst Islam promotes the
notion that men and women are spiritual and intellectual equals, it also
gives value to the differences between the sexes as strengths rather than weaknesses.From an Islamic perspective,
women are regarded as being particularly suited to engaging in the
legal arena. This is not only because we are intellectual equals to men,
but also because we were more likely to introduce a level of empathy
and thereby give recognition to the human dimensions of justice. I
certainly try to adopt this approach in my work.I believe that a return to the Prophetic
legacy would further empower women. We will see the valuable roles we
have to perform more clearly, and that to be equal is not to be ‘the
same as a man’, but to be a woman.”
